Welcome!
Central Florida Invitational Teams,
Hello and welcome to the 2026 Central Florida Invitational!
Kings Hammer SBD is excited to welcome over 100 teams to compete in the Central Florida Invitational. The Central Florida Invitational provides participating teams with an opportunity to start your Spring Season providing early season opportunities to play multiple games in one weekend.
In this event guide, you will find all the information you need for this year’s event including links to schedules, facility maps, and local area attractions to visit while you are in town. Please take a moment to look through the guide. We also ask that you forward this link to all your players and families, so they have this information for the weekend. The link is mobile friendly as well so they can pull it up on their phone and refer to it throughout the event. We hope you have a chance to enjoy all that Lakeland and Tampa have to offer while you are here.
Thank you for choosing the Central Florida Invitational. We are excited about the event this year and look forward to hosting your team in the Tampa area!

Awards
Awards will be given to the Champion and Finalist in each of the divisions after the Championship Match. Please send one representative from your team to the Headquarters Tent at each location to pick up awards.
Athletic Trainers
Trainers will be located at Lake Parker Park and McGee Park throughout the weekend in case your child needs to be evaluated for an injury. They will be positioned throughout the park under event tents with “Medical” flags next to them. If a player should need any pregame taping it is the player/team’s responsibility to provide necessary supplies and it will be at the trainer’s discretion on whether they will be attending to preventative measures.
Weather Updates
In the event of inclement weather, we will inform all Coaches and Team Managers as listed in the GotSport system. Please make sure to update your team contact information if you have not already done so.

All games will be played at Lake Parker Park and John McGee Park at Cypress Youth Soccer Park.
